6.2.2Setting the MACHINE #

The MACHINE # determines the position of a VP-108unit, specifying which VP-108unit is being controlled when several VP-108units connect to a PC or serial controller. Set the MACHINE # on a VP-108unit via DIPS 1, 2 and 3, according to Table 4.

When using a stand-alone VP-108unit, set the MACHINE # to 1. When connecting more than one VP-108unit, set the first machine (the Master) that is closest to the PC, as MACHINE # 11.
